Micca G3 2K QHD Media Player, USB, MicroSD, H.265, Digital Signage

This device is very small but works well. With TF or USB input ports, it gives you flexibility. The picture output quality is excellent (used on 65” TV). The menu is very simple to navigate around. A bug I found with the software is when playing a very large 20 Gb “ts” file; when I pressed fast forward, it actually went in reverse! This did not happen with mp4 files, regardless of size. I have reported this bug to the manufacturer. It’s not a deal breaker but it could be an issue for some. The fast forward/rewind has 10s or 20s advancements(or rewinds) depending on the button pressed on the remote. I found this useful. The remote control works well. The red LED light at the front is quite large, so I use a ‘bye-bye standby’ switch at the mains and only power on when using the device. In conclusion; very little to complain about. It’s a great player which produces a great picture.

After trying various ways to view MP4 videos easily, I tried this unit and it works perfectly with my external hard drive. No set up, literally just plug it in, attach the TV or monitor and it's ready to go. Two AAA batteries will be needed.

Plays the mp4s with standard codecs, doesn't seem to work for non-standard codecs. All round simple and compact design 4/5

Was having trouble playing MP4 videos from a USB stick plugged into my two year old Samsung TV. Saying file not supported ect. Received this Media player and plugged in the same USB stick into the player and all videos played perfectly at great HD quality. Great product especially with the remote

From the start, the device was glitchy (turning off by itself) but now, only a few weeks after buying it, it won't play at all. Or, more annoyingly, it starts a movie and then (3 min in) leaps to the next movie & next & next... and then turns off. Not worth it!

I bought this media player mainly to play 4K video files via USB for digital signage and home use, but unfortunately it has been a big disappointment. I’ve tried: Different USB drives and microSD cards Multiple 4K MP4 and MKV files Different TVs and HDMI cables The result is always the same: choppy playback and audio out of sync. For 1080p content it’s mostly fine, but if you are buying this specifically for 4K movies, don’t expect smooth performance. The menu and remote also feel slow, which adds to the frustration. Overall, this might work for simple signage or lower-resolution videos, but it does not handle 4K reliably. I wouldn’t recommend this product if 4K playback is important to you.

The media player works, but it runs quite hot after a while during playback — the plug gets noticeably warm, which is a concern for long use. The picture quality also drops compared to other players I’ve used; colours look a bit dull and not as sharp. On the plus side, I’m using a 2TB HDD and haven’t had the compatibility problems some other reviewers mentioned. Overall, it does the job, but the heat issue and picture quality really let it down.

Works perfectly as a video player for my projector. Discreet size and SD card slot for unobtrusive storage.

This little gadget has been a game changer for me!

Köpte denna för att använda till signage. Enkel att konfigurera för stående format. Bytte ut strömadaptern och tar istället strömmen (5V) via USB-A på TV'n. Det bästa med mediaspelaren är att den går att konfigurera så att den startar automatiskt och går i en loop så snart TV'n startas upp. Mycket prisvärd!

Desperate product. Never worked.

An excellent device to make my old Full HD 1080p TV smarter. I connected a Silicon Power PC60 portable 1TB SSD, as my media storage device, to the Micca G3 and the two work together seamlessly. Brilliant. I have successfully played the following file types on the Micca G3 with no issues: vob (1GB), avi, wmv, ts, jpg, png, gif, webp, mp3, flac. The Micca G3 was able to play most, but not all, of the MP4 video files from my Windows PC (mainly downloaded from Youtube). For the MP4s that the Micca G3 initially could not play, I used the FILE CONVERSION function in the VLC media player application (free open source) on my PC, with the output profile "Video for MPEG4 1080p TV/device", to convert my MP4 files into a more standard version of MP4. Then they were fine on the Micca G3. The User Manual also contains other options for dealing with unsupported MP4 codecs. Display Resolution: the player can output video in a wide range of resolutions. For best results, configure the player’s Settings > Display Resolution to match the highest quality setting supported by the TV. “Auto” (the default) is recommended when the player is connected using an HDMI cable. Available settings: AUTO, 2160P, 1080P, 720P, 576P, 480P The player handles all my file types and sizes, quick menu response, no buffering. The G3 is a definite improvement on the previous G2 model. NOTE: the Micca G3 comes with a power supply (input 100-240V AC) suitable for use in Australia (output 5.0V DC 2A), but it has a TWO PRONG US style plug, so you will need to order a PLUG ADAPTER (US to Australian) such as the LEESAD travel adaptor for about $9. You will also need batteries for the remote (2 x AAA), and an HDMI cable. Firmware updates for the Micca G3 android operating system and PDF User Manuals are available for download at: https://www.miccatron.com/micca-speck-g3-4k-digital-media-player/ I find that the Micca remote control is very directional – you have to point it directly at the player, or it doesn't register. If you point the remote directly at or below the player, it works fine. But if the remote points slightly to the left, right, or above the player, there is no response. Overall, a very useful, versatile, solid product, and reasonably priced.

Doet wat het moet doen, prima speler.
